1 I am the man who has seen afflictionby the rod of his wrath.
2 He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness,and not in light.
3 Surely he turns his hand against meagain and again all day long.
4 He has made my flesh and my skin old.He has broken my bones.
5 He has built against me,and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
6 He has made me dwell in dark places,as those who have been long dead.
